Hello again,
Back from the Jaguar forum. I have picked up the 328ise. Cracking car with loads of factory extras, heated leather etc etc and every single bill from new.
(Original price £29000 ), and I paid £6000 for it to a very careful previous owner.

Bought from these very classifieds too.

I know it has been mentioned before, but did these possibly suffer from nicasil snags.
I doubt if mine will have the problem as it would have no doubt reared its head by now.
Scoobyzoom.....any ideas.....

Anyway, hello everybody

Sounds a good car! Tempted at buying my mates 97 328i sport when he sells it - I think I'd be silly to sell the LCR though

Looked at a few E36 'Sports' with my old man when he was last looking to buy, although he went for the B3 in the end, sports are very nice, M3ish body kit, the best standard fit wheels on any E36 and a nice interior as standard
But then I see one of these........

And it gets me thinking how I can replace racegirls car without her noticing, just got to figure out how to insure one with a 1years experiance and 1 years NCB

I have a very big soft spot for E30'S.
My last 325i touring had nearly 200k, went like stink and never went wrong.
Sold it for a Jag XJ8.

I'm back in a BMW now.

Well sorted E30 325sports look better with every passing day, future classic without a doubt.

Love my old 328 Coupe though, in truth I prefer it to my old M5 (E34).

raceboy - that is a lovely looking car. I dont know why I have such a soft spot of the old E30, I just love the styling and you can pick up a peach for only a few grand.

It's in the classifieds, nothing to do with me, it does look nice though but I think it's a little pricey for an F plate
Tried a few quotes and to insure one for racegirl is a joke, even 316i's are expensive

I kept trying to get reasonably priced insurance for the 320i, most were more than I pay on the Griff, I tried elephant again last month and the price had dropped drastically so now I’ll be driving that instead of the Mini.
After being stood up for 8 months it passed it’s MOT only needing new rear break shoes and a pair of wiper blades

especially with 142,000 miles on the clock

I paid £3,750 for my J plate with 55,000 miles on the clock at the time of purchase

That is one fine looking 325. As I scrolled down and saw the photo it brought back that warm fuzzy feeling I get when I look at the 320 after a really good razz.
